Owner's Manual

General InformationThank you for purchasing this product. The purpose of this manual is to assist you in operating and maintaining your utility cart sprayer. Please read it carefully, as it furnishes information which will help you achieve years of trouble-free operation.

Warranty/Parts/Service

For home usage, products are warranted for one year from date of purchase against manufacturer or workmanship defects.

Commercial users have a 90 day warranty.

Your authorized dealer is the best source of replacement parts and service. To obtain prompt, efficient service, always remember to give the following information...

- Correct Part Description and/or part number. - Model number/Serial number of your sprayer.

Part descriptions and part numbers can be obtained from the illustrated parts list section(s) of this manual.

Whenever you need parts or repair service, contact your distributor/dealer first. For warranty work, always take your original sales slip, or other evidence of purchase date, to your distributor/dealer.

AssemblyThe sprayer is fully assembled at the factory. The only assembly necessary is to thread the pressure gauge in place, and to hook up the wiring to an existing 12 volt power source.

The red wire of the two wire set must be connected to the positive post on the battery or the “Hot” connection on a switch or to the ammeter. The brown wire may be grounded or connected to the negative battery post. Install all parts of the boom assembly to the boom brackets as shown in the exploded view drawing. The in-line switch turns the unit on and off. Running the pump dry will not harm the pump for short periods of time.

Read the operating instructions and then run the sprayer using only water for testing. When everything tests all right, add the desired chemical mixture and water combination and start the spraying operation.

Operation & CalibrationThe performance of any agricultural chemical depends uponthe proper application of the correct amount.Be sure that your equipment has been calibrated before spraying.

Initially begin spraying by opening the handgun. This willenable the air in the line to be eliminated through the tip, while building pressure.

The pumping system draws solution from the tank, throughthe strainer, and to the pump. The pump forces the solutionunder pressure to the handgun or boom nozzles.

Pressure may be decreased by opening the bypass valveto the tank. When it is closed the highest spraying pressurewill be reached.

• Open the handgun by squeezing the handle lever

• Rotating the adjustable nozzle tip on the handgun willchange the tip from a straight stream to a cone pattern (finermist). Be sure the thumb nut on the adjustment nozzle istight.

• The pump motor's demand switch shuts off the motor when the handgun, bypass valve and boom lines are fully closed.

The system remains pressurized, and the pump motor willrestart automatically when the handgun or boom line isopened. If, however, the bypass line is open, the pump willnot shut off automatically.• The 3 nozzles are fixed on 17 1/2" spacing.• All three nozzles spraying at the same time will allow amaximum coverage of 30 ft. Overlapping of the ends of thespray pattern will not be needed.• The center nozzle will cover a 80" swath.• Each of the three nozzles has a means of shutting down, so you may choose the coverage that is needed.

Adjusting Pressure- When the bypass valve is closed, pressure is at the highest point.

- Opening the valve will decrease pressure.

Testing the SprayerIt is important to test the sprayer with plain water beforeactual spraying is attempted. This will enable you to check the sprayer for leaks in the plumbing system.1. Open tank lid and be sure the tank is clean and free of foreign material. Fill the tank about half full with plainwater.2. Open the valve on the filter/valve assembly next to the pump and allow water to flow to the pump. The valve is located at this point to enable the strainer to be taken apart for cleaning.3. There are two valves located on the valve and handgun bracket. One of these is a shut-off for the boom and the other is for pressure adjustment. Open the valve that controls flow to the boom and open the bypass control valve.4. You may now start the sprayer.5. The pressure should now be increased to as desired by closing the bypass valve.6. During this testing period be sure to observe the spray pattern given by the spray nozzles. Each nozzle should overlap the next nozzle approximately 30%. If there is any pattern distortion, it will be necessary to remove and clean the affected tips.CAUTION: Never use a metal object or other sharp itemfor cleaning a nozzle tip. It is better to use a nozzle brush(not wire brush) or compressed air for tip cleaning.

Drain all water out of your sprayer, paying special attention to the pump, handgun, and valve(s). These items are especially prone to damage from chemicals and freezing weather.

The sprayer should be winterized before storage by pumping a solution of RV antifreeze through the entire plumbing system. This antifreeze solution should remain in the plumbing system during the winter months. When spring time comes and you are preparing your sprayer for the spray season, rinse the entire plumbing system out, clearing the lines of the antifreeze solution. Proper care and maintenance will prolong the life of your sprayer.

Winter Storage

Using the Boom Nozzles

Four things must be considered before spraying with the boom:

How much chemical must be mixed in the tank.1.Rate of spray (gallons per acre to be sprayed)2.What pressure (p.s.i.) will be used.3.Speed traveled (mph) while spraying.4.

- Refer to the chemical label to determine your chemical mixture.- See the tip chart to determine the pressure to be used. The chart will also show the speed used when spraying.- Start the pump and open the valve(s) to the boom nozzles.- Check the spray pattern. Usually you can see the coverage better on a solid concrete surface, such as a driveway.- The boomless nozzles should be approx. 33" above the objects being sprayed.

After SprayingAfter use, fill the sprayer tank part way with water. Start the sprayer, and allow the clear water to be pumped through the plumbing system and out through the spray nozzles.Refill the tank about half full with plain water and use FIMCO Tank Neutralizer and Cleaner, and repeat cleaning instructions above.Flush the entire sprayer with the neutralizing/cleaning agent, then flush out one more time with plain water. Follow the chemical manufacturer's disposal instructions of all wash or rinsing water.For the boom, (if applicable) remove the tips and screens from the nozzle assemblies. Wash these items out thoroughly. Blow the orifice clean and dry. If the orifice remains clogged, clean it with a fine bristle (NOT WIRE) brush, or with a toothpick. Do not damage the orifice. Water rinse and dry the tips before storing.

WARNING: Some chemicals will damage the pump valves if allowed to soak untreated for a length of time! ALWAYS flush the pump as instructed after each use.
